ESMC is a non-profit that compensates farmers and ranchers who improve the environment through their agricultural practices. Our market program, Eco-Harvest, reduces greenhouse gases, improves water quality, and increases other ecosystem services to benefit society.

In August 2022, Eco-Harvest became the first agricultural market program in the US to reach program and pilot validation and verification under the SustainCERT Value Change Initiative (VCI). Read why this is important. In June 2023, we announced that Eco-Harvest is the first market program to use SustainCERT’s Innovative Value Chain Decarbonization Platform.
